On W1 we have a problem, with people spaming the chat in debates. Often posting 10+ posts on the GC in a row, with the intention of flooding the chat with their own opinion, regardless of others on the chat.

This is destructive to the chats, and the overall atmostphere of the game. Flooding the chat does not allow others to participate in a disscution and can even be propmotion of "fake news" about Hitlar and other subjects we have seen here before.

Currently, we punish people if they spam a single letter, or smiley, with the intention of spaming the chat. But some smart people, have discovered that is a weakness they can exploit. They spam sentances insead of single words. "as long as you are talking then its ok". and this happens on w1. there is a few players that flood the chat on purpose in debates to be sure only their argument is seen.

The modos on W1, have all different opinions. Some want to ban the flooding because it is hurting the chats, and some think there is no problem, that they just need lots of lines to explain themselves. So we have conflicting rules already from the moderators. I try to message to get them all to agree on similar rules, and they do not really respond, and then chat ban me. _Niki_ moderator, the one that banned me, claimed that he just makes the rules as he decides on this topic, refusing to explain in detail about critical elements when asked. Now he responds he will explain the ban latter today (after he decides what the rules are).

One reponse i got from moderator, was that its hard to make a rule that fits all the spaming. That sometimes people need extra lines to talk and explain things.

As I proposed to the moderorators, I think a good rule, that is solid, but felxible enough also, to stop unnessisary flood of the chat would be: "- Try to limit to 5 or less posts in a row on the GC to prevent spam"

I have thought about it quite a bit, and I think this would be most appropriate, fair, and help the game. 5 posts is already the unofficial rule for spaming symbols or words, I dont think it would be unreasonable to apply it to people writing also. It would give official power to moderators to punish for spaming the chat with simple letter/symbol and also writing when its too much. The word "try" would give flexiblity to the moderation to decide when someone exceeds because they are only on chat once or twice a year, or when they exceed because they cannot control themselves and are damageing the chat. 5 posts is quite alot of posts, the majority of players on this game do not use more then 5 posts in a row on the GC, so i do not think it is unreasonable at all.

This issue started long ago, and happens again when certian players are fustrated. but each time i report, and the moderation does nothing, and then i complain and make big scene on GC, and then the other player stops flooding. Its the same thing every few months.

I would like the moderators to decide on a single rule on this issue, so that every moderator doesnt have their own rules. And i would like the admin to apply a rule to the list of rules, targeting the spam. Rules and structure is exactly what this game is lacking. Clarifying the Rules can only be good.

please tell me any issues you think will come from this, i personally cannot see negatives.
